it can work. you just gotta pipe it in. i have a 6.0 on my idi. after i mounted it all up, went to the exhaust shop and had him bend all my tubes up. took a little bit of work and routing but it worked great. you are going to lose overall boost pressure since your trying to fill a ton more volume but its going to be a denser charge so thats helpful. it will lower your egt's too. just heat wrap and ceramic spray your exhaust manifolds and up-pipes for maximum spooling on your turbo. keeping the heat in will help tons.
